"Moreover, my agent and I are also weighing up available options before committing to another extension."
He also lauded the quality of the Kuwaiti League as among the best in the Gulf region.
"The Kuwaiti is a perfect ground for anyone who is eyeing a move to the Gulf. I have played in Qatar which is arguably the best league in the Gulf region and the Kuwaiti League is at that level," he added.
Sumaila has been one of the most important players for the Kuwaiti giants in the last few years since joining them from South Africa side Mamelodi Sundowns in 2015.
